Tasted in a stemless Berliner Weiss bowl from a 1 pt .9 fl oz can on August 22, 2017. Look is gold straw. Smell is sour with a whisper of peach. Taste is bitter and sour with a hint of sweet peach. Feel is light in body.

Reviewed from notes. Poured from a 16.9 oz. can into a Firestone Walker tulip glass.

A: Pours a very pale gold, with only a mild haze. Forms a two-finger white head with good retention, and has a good amount of visible carbonation.

S: Moderate lactic tart, mild funk, and the lightest of cracker malts. Lemony citric acid. I guess I’ll buy into some peach also, but probably only because I’m looking for it. Decent aroma, not great.

T: Lactic tartness and citric acid as expected, but it’s muted (or I think you could say balanced, depending on your perspective) by a fruity sweetness – I think that’s the peach, but it’s not a big “peach” flavor. Light two-row malts, mild wheat, and I think a light pilsner malt presence. A very modest amount of Lacto funk near the back end, and it finishes dry and mildly acidic. On the exhale is the only place I think I could place the peaches as a distinct flavor.

M: Light body, no alcohol presence. It's a bit on the low side of carbonation sensation for the style, though I would consider it well-carbonated overall.

O: Decent. Not my favorite of this series I don't think. The peach flavors don’t really grab you, but I feel like the more subtle stone fruit that pulls through acts like a milder version of the Woodruff syrup, taming the sour bite of the base Berliner just a bit. It would be a decent beach beer, but nothing that is overly sour/funky/complex.

Slightly hazy straw color with creamy white head. Aroma is grainy and lemony, not very fruit forward. Taste has lactic acidity, lemon tartness, a hint of stone fruit in the background. Light body, high effervescence. Overall it's a decent berliner weisse but I expected some more fruit.
